    Been helping my cousin work on his 7.3 Powerstroke last few days. Starts great runs about 30 miles then dies and won't restart until it cools down. Changed all the sensors first, then the High Pressure Oil pump, still the same. Pulled the injectors finally and had 4 with busted oil galley o rings! IMG_0194.png

    Just don’t be like some people and order it from HD Supply and then expect the peddle hand who shows up to deliver it to hump it into the house by himself. :biggrin_25523:

    Well Ima ho for a dolla I’ll sell anything except maybe Teresa and Gypsy. I would rent Gypsy out though.

    We done some trading on a small steel dump I’ve had forever I don’t use. A wet kit installed on his old cabover he’s keeping and that 18 speed that’s laying in my shop floor fixed of course. That got me down sorta right in it and helps him too.


    I also wanna say the truck takes good pictures but it needs lots of touch up and paint correction. But our big time trucking is done. We just hauling a little lime, litter, and rice hulls on a Federal tag. (What us Arkansas boys call a farm tag) For what we’re doing it’s gonna do what we want to do
